    The ARTIGO's that came from the ESC in Boston had WinCE pre-installed.  The instructions above cover how to install on a blank Artigo. (Namely, when preparing to download the image, the Artigo's boot menu will give the option to 'Load OS Image from Development Station....") But my Artigo shows no sush menu and just boots to CE, so in Visual Studio, the target device never shows up under Ethernet Download settings, and I would like to re-install the image with some update's I've made.  How can I do that???

    I believe the Artigo boards that were provided at ESC Boston included the "BIOSLoader" to load the local Windows CE image (nk.bin) - The BiosLoader can also pull an image from the development PC. When booting the artigo, once BIOS is complete, and before the local image is loaded, press the "1" key on the Artigo keyboard, this will put the BIOSLoader into "EBOOT" mode, and will request an o/s image from the development PC.

    I am having the same issue as Adam.  I can't get the device into a mode to download the OS from the development station.  I have tried pressing 1 just after the BIOS comes up but my device still goes to the OS Choice screen (which allows me to choose between Windows Embedded Standard and Windows Embedded CE 6).  Any advice would be appreciated.
